Re: LT1 powered stepper

Small update - ALMOST ready to reassemble the bed. Laid everything together for fitment, and found out that the boards are too wide to fit them all in. The original ones were 7.5" wide give or take an 1/8th. Well looks like I should have gone with take instead of give. To remedy the issue I took the middle board and had to cut a whopping 1 3/4" off one side. That being said, I obviously have to re-stain and re-varnish the cut edge. I'll try to get a mock up pic while I'm waiting for the stain to dry.
Also bought an old WWII ammo box that I'll be mounting in the bed to hold my jack, tire iron, jumper cables, etc and I'll have it painted the same colour as the truck.
